Destination Paraguay

Fifteen-year-old Sebastian Segovia is nothing like his father, a brave soldier whose treasure-hunting adventures led him to the New World. But when Sebastian sets sail for his new home in Asunción, disaster strikes. It’s bad enough that the pirates take his entire inheritance, but how will he face slave-traders, deadly jaguars, and cannibals on his own? Does Arazunú, the young Guarani warrior, have secret plans for revenge, or will he prove a reliable guide through the jungle? And will Sebastian ever discover the courage he's heard about his whole life, or will he forever remain a mama's boy?
